In a vaguely similar vein, it's possible that the building of muckle great megalithic monuments may have induced states of mind never previously encountered. Maybe the amount of constant exertion required to shift big rocks made the ancient endorphins kick in, possibly even, special breathing techniques were employed to synchronise effort amongst the members of a team. Either or both of which could result in a different state of mind from that generally induced by hunter gathering activities.
